HackerEarth One Girl One Sequence problem solution

YASH PAL, 31 July 2024
In this HackerEarth One Girl One Sequence problem solution, You are given a sequence of distinct integers a1, a2, …, an  and an integer x and you have to perform the following operations:
Remove the current minimum from a. This operation costs x.
Remove the current maximum from a. This operation costs the number of elements located on the right to the maximum. Formally, if the maximum is ai and the current size of the sequence is k,  then the cost will be k – i 
What is the minimum cost to erase the whole sequence?
